"aunt!"
Zhang Hongmei rubbed his head and said, "Go back home. Your aunt will be waiting for you at home."
The camera is in my bag. Your Uncle Wang Hua knows how to take pictures; let him take more pictures of your little brother.
"Okay, Auntie, wait for me."
"Okay, Auntie will wait for you. The journey is tough, so hang in there."
"Um."
Liu Qiang got into the car and sat in the same car as Xu Liang. He waved to his brothers who had come to see him off, saying, "Brothers, wait for me to come back. Second Aunt, Aunt Wang Ying, and Aunt, you all have to wait for me."
The children below also waved their hands vigorously, sending their little brother away.
Another car was parked in the yard, waiting for Liu Jingsong to return.
Zhang Hongmei still asked Lu Jing to prepare five hundred yuan; that was all she could do.
"Hongmei, don't be sad. All good things must come to an end. It's just that I left you a little earlier." Gu Chuanming looked at his listless granddaughter and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, I know, it's okay."
Gu Chuanming thought to himself that this didn't seem like he was alright, but he knew that was all the advice he could offer.
Zhang Hongmei spent the entire afternoon playing chess with Zhou Shixiong, which helped her to distract herself.
Ganlu arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon. The cafeteria prepared cold noodles for them.
Liu Jingsong looked around. Just as Xiao Jiena had said, he would never be qualified to come here again.
Zhang Xingguo sent Wang Zhixin to take Liu Jingsong away, and he could also help the driver drive.
Liu Jingsong stared blankly at Zhang Hongmei's residence, hoping to see his aunt. But he knew in his heart that it was a pipe dream; he had disappointed his aunt too much.
I boarded the truck with tears in my eyes. As it pulled away, I leaned out the window and glanced back. Tears streamed down my face. The sea breeze dried them before I sat back down. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, hoping it would all just be a dream when I woke up.
Zhang Hongmei began to live a regular daily life, and even set aside an hour to teach the children foreign languages. She didn't teach them anything, just spoken language, making sure they could at least speak the most basic simple conversations.
They stayed there for a month, and returned to the capital at the end of August, when she was due to go back to school.
When I got home, I felt especially warm and welcome; it felt like coming home.
Instead of taking a break, I took some time to work in my study. After relaxing for more than a month, it was time to get back to work.
The warehouse in the suburbs has been under construction for half a month. The drivers are already there, learning to drive, and some of them already know how. We've also made arrangements with the factories in the area, and it has genuinely resolved many of their problems.
Sang Hongxiu was extremely busy. But she was especially happy, finally she had something to do.
Zhang Shouyi returned home at six o'clock in the evening. When he saw his wife sitting there with a smile on her face, he picked her up in his arms.
"Wife, you're finally back. You've abandoned me for forty-one days."
"Hehe, Brother Zhang, I'm back."
He sat down, holding her in his arms. "Honey, did you have fun?"
"It's alright, it's just that you and the kids aren't here. I think I would be even happier if the six of us were together."
"Okay, let me go. Grandpa, Dad, and the kids will be coming over for dinner soon."
Zhang Shouyi whispered something in Zhang Hongmei's ear that made the 26-year-old hot mom blush.
The children didn't seem to be having any problems with being depressed. They were doing the same thing as usual.
After the meal, the two elderly people took the children home.
Zhang Shouyi carried his wife back to their room. The passionate night kept Zhang Hongmei awake the next day.
I dialed Song Zigan's number. Sanya is five months pregnant now. Li Cuihua hasn't come back; she's been taking care of Sanya.
Knowing that Sanya was doing well put my mind at ease. I then dialed Liu Jingzhang's number. Liang Dan and Sanya were only about half a month apart in age, and Liang Dan was also in good health.
Before we knew it, it was almost noon, and Liu Jingze arrived.
"Brother Jingze, what brings you here?"
"I'm worried about you."
"It's fine."
“Actually, I’ve talked to Zhenye and the others. They don’t have any feelings for Liu Jingsong. Before, they didn’t want things to be difficult for you. Now that he’s left, they still don’t have any feelings for him. They’re just worried that you’ll be unhappy.”
"Hehe, I'm fine. Just like Grandpa said, I'll leave sooner or later, it's just a little sooner."
I'm relieved that you've come to terms with it.
"Hehe, I'm not that fragile. Let's eat first. Do you have to go to work this afternoon?"
"Is there something you need?"
"No, you should go to work this afternoon. By the way, I'll have Chongyu go back on Saturday. My second brother and the others haven't seen their child for almost two months."
"Yes, Liu Jingxiang's wife is pregnant, and she may be feeling unwell right now."
"That's good news. I'll have Lu Jing take Aunt Yang and Aunt Chen over in a bit. I wonder if Auntie is coming?"
"My mom isn't coming; it seems like Jingxiang's mother-in-law is coming instead."
"That's fine too. Of course, a mother is worried about her daughter's pregnancy. Let Aunt Yang and the others go over there as well."
"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."
A short while later, the two elderly people arrived with the children. They all greeted Liu Jingze with smiles.
"Jingze, we're going up the mountain in September too."
"Oh. Then Zhenye and the others are happy."
"Yes, we discussed it and decided to spend more time with them while we still have the energy and spirit."
"Hongmei, are you all alone at home now?"
“I don’t have time either. I have classes in the morning and I have to go with Zhou Shixiong in the afternoon. I won’t be lonely, and besides, I have these kids.”
After the meal, Liu Jingze left. Zhang Hongmei cleared her mind of all distractions and sat down to cultivate in her spatial dimension.
I feel like I should be able to break through to the third level soon.
But something always felt missing. He prepared a bathtub, added more spiritual spring water than usual, drank a cup, and then began his cultivation.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Zhang Hongmei felt a shiver run through her body. The comfortable feeling made her unable to hold back and groan.
This feels so good. I've broken through to the third level, and this is the only way I can cultivate from now on.
After tidying up, I came out of the space. Lying on the bed, I checked the time; it was already 5 PM. I figured Zhang Shouyi would definitely be back early today. I think he said something to me last night, but I couldn't remember what.
Never mind. Tonight I'll get some water for my sons so we can all take a bath. This time, the third and fourth sons should go first. I'm really happy to see the four kids being so considerate of each other.
That's how brothers should act. They behaved exceptionally well.
After dinner that evening, Zhang Shouyi recounted the outcome of Xiao Manshan's case. Zhou Shixiong had specifically called earlier that day, so Xiao Manshan hadn't pursued the matter further. Of course, he wouldn't be enjoying the benefits of a general anymore. Furthermore, his assets had been assessed, and only what he was entitled to over the years would be retained. He shouldn't even think about anything else.
The three little girls had been taken away ten days before they were to return.
